Police: Man drives stolen car into ditch

SAN DIEGO — A carjacker was arrested Sunday night in Encanto after police said he stole a car at gunpoint and then drove it into a ditch.

A passenger and driver of a black 1993 Nissan Altima were on Sullivan Avenue near 65th Street about 7:50 p.m. when a man walked up and ordered them out of the car, San Diego police said.

An officer spotted the stolen car about a mile away and tried to pull it over but the driver took off, police said. He drove a short distance before losing control of the car driving into a ditch off Radio Road just east of 60th Street, police said.
